the watermark

I was recently inspired by Rachel Soh Photograph (i highly reccomend you click that link) to create a watermark for my photos. 

I was given the opportunity to be a photographer at my church’s Oceania Convention which was a really great and new experience.  I stopped to think about who I want to be as a photographer and what I want my photos to be known for…

So far this is what I’ve got

• Shots of stuff in their natural habitat…
• Shots that have only been post processed because the camera simply cannot capture what my eyes capture in terms of colour and clarity…
• Shots that have been so over-processed they say and create something totally new

So when thinking about my “watermark” I thought about my options:

• jc42graphy
• Justin Chan Photography
• Jussography
• Jusso Photography
• As it is
• JC Photography

All of these ideas just didn’t seem to work with me… I thought to myself, “why does everyone put <insertname> Photography or <insertname>graphy… (no offence to the people who have chosen this route) but it’s kinda cliche and … unoriginal.  Plus I don’t really want to be known as a business, photography is just a hobby that I’m getting more and more passionate about…

so I thought and got stuck on Jussography…

then it struck me… my photos are an extention of my viewpoint of life… how I viewlife and want to capture life as a still frame…

So let me introduce to you my first 4 watermarked photos!

That’s right, Jussograph… because it’s not just any photo it’s a jusso photo =D
